What DIR. Jones Says About the Matter.
Lynching Threatened.
Special to the Gazette.
DALLAS, Tex, October There has
been no new developments in the Barlow
Walker outrage. Very many citizens
have expressed a doubt that an outrage
was committed. Mr.. Jim Jones, how
ever, states positively that an outrage was
peTpetrated. He says that when he heard
the screams of the girl he ran to the spot,
shout forty yards from his house, and
called out: "Is there any help needed
here?" and the girl answered: ayes, On,
for Gods sake, help me! He is running
me-he is numbering mel" He then
started for his guB, and the girl said:
'For Gods sake hurry" He said he
could see msn through the tnicket when
he first went up, but could not tell wheth-
er he WAS a White man or q negro. He
could hear him cursiDg he did not Know
whom. On his return, sitter getting the
gun, he met bis brother and Mr.. Me-
lone, who took the gun and went
on 10 follow up the tiends, said his
brother first thought perhaps Barlow was
the party, but after taking into consider
atiO1 taS CpbSItIOA u IuS young NAl anu
where he was standing when first dis
covered, he changed his mind and now
firmly believes that al outrage was COM
mitted, There wss some talk Of hanging
the negro last might, and several parties
came IL from F0rney TO look into the
matter, but after investigating the case
there was rot sufficient Certainty as TO
the guilt Of the negro TO justify such a
rash course. New light will probably
dawn on the case in @ few days.

PROBABLE LOSS
Of the Bark st. stephen with All
on BOARD.

SEATTLE, w. T., April l3.-Ever
since the storm off the coast OF Van
couver Island on April lst, during which
the bark Ell Dora 10 foundered and the
schooner champion was wrecked at Bar,
clay Sound, much apprehension has
been felt for the safety of the ship St.
Stephen, Captain Douglas. which left
Seattle with 2l69 tons of coal on March
81 and was let go by the tug Mogul off
Cape Flattery at ii p M. She was then
incompany with the Ell Dorado bound out.
Fears of her loss have been generally in
creased by the late Developments, which
leave little doubt that she foundered at
sea with all on board. Captain Mcneil,
of the bark Enoch Talbot, now in this
port, saws that about 10 A. M. on April
ist, during the terrible storm, he saw a
three.s sail. yard snip about 500 yards
from them, with heavy list to leeward.
Apparently the cargo had shifted. lie
was too busy looking out for his own
vessel to paw much attention to anything
else. He thought it was the Ivan
or the st. Stephen. Soon after TINS

aft and said they had seen ship go
down and wanted him to offer assist
ance, but being next door to distress
themselves, he could do nothing at that
time. He was then ten miles south OF
Cape Beale. Fifteen minutes later the
weather cleared up and there was no yes.
sci in sight except schooner. His men
are positive they saw vessel sink be-
meath the waves. He has written this
statement to his owners in San Fran
cisco. It is morally certain that the
vessel he alludes to is lost. but whether it
is the St. Stephen or not he could not say.
She was the only three sky-sail-yard
ship, except the Ivanhoe in these parts
at that time. Captain Douglas had his
wife and daughter with him. The ship |
carried crew of sixteen souls.
VICTORIA, April l3.-It is stated here
that the st. Stephen has not foundered,
the report arising from the fact that the
ship Ivanhoe, recently arrived at Port
was seen to be thrown on her
beam ends by the shifting of her ballast
in squall. She was taken for the st.
Stephen and not being seen again by the
men who reported the latter foundered.
This gave rise to the report.

LOSS OF LIFE
At a Fire i'm a Five.StOry Build.
ing In Chicago.

CHICAGO, April l3.-John J. Nc.
Graths wallpaper house, at LOG to ll2
Wabash avenue, a five-story marble
front building, was burned early this
morning. The stock is total loss, and
the building is irreparably injured. A
pipeman, Michael Burns, was standing
in the fourth.story window. A sheet Of
flame came out, enveloping him, when
he fell into the burning mass inside.
Lieutenant John Heberlie was climbing
a ladder to the second story, when it
slipped and he fell to the sidewalk
crushing his skull. Captain Fred Reese
had his leg broken by falling stone.
The fire was discovered at 1928 o'clock.
When the firemen arrived it was in the
center of the building, but before the
hose could be used the flames had
jumped from the story above to the one
below and seized quickly upon all the
infammable stuff with which the floors
were loaded. A second and third alarm
was turned in, and twenty engines were
soon working upon the fire. One fire
man said they had never before seen so
rapid and complete destruction of a
large establishment. The fire was out
about o'clock. Owing to the exertions
of the fremen very little if any damage
was done to the adjoining buildings.
The loss is supposed to be about $400,-
600 on the stock, and the insurance is
100000. The loss is $4,000 on the
building, fully covered by insurance.

RIVERSIDE, April l3.-The Fruit
Growers Convention to-day was well
attended. The important matter of the
Interstate Commerce bill was taken up.
After a lengthy discussion it was devel.
oped that the entire Convention is
against the law. A resolution was
passed a. rising the appointment of a
committee to memorialize Congress for
the appointment by the government of an
agent. whose mission should be to pro.
ceed to Australia on chronological
voyagsbof discovery. His endeavors
should be directed towards the finding
of parasitic insect able to cope with
and destroy the white scale bug. A full
discussion of the remedies for predatory
fruit pests wgs gone into and seemed to
establish the superiority of fumigation
over emulsions of all kinds. Cold stor.
age was the subject of extensive discus.
sion and received great attention. A
COmmlttee consisting OF L. M. holt, OI
Riverside, o. P. Chubb, of Orange, L.
A. Wilcox, of Santa Clara, N. w.
Blanchard. of Ventura, and w. B.
Ever. of San Francisco, was appointed
to examine the cold storage factory and
its fruit. The committee reported the
system complete success in every re.
spect and worth millions to the fruit
growers of California. Fruit preserved
by this process was found to be perfect
after having been picked six weeks from
the tree. The display of fruit is very
choice. All committees are to report
tomorrow evening. The Convention
will adjourn to-morroW evening.

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT
Returns Coming i'm slowly From
the Country.

SAN Francisco, April l3.-Returns
from the interior are coming in very
slowly and probably it will not be before
tomorrow night that the fate of the
three constitutional amendments can be
definitely decided. There is little doubt
but that the adverse majorities of the
country on Amendments l and 2 have
overcome the city vote for them and de-
feated them. Much uncertainty, how.
ever. prevails regarding Amendment 3
as it not only got larger
favorable vote in the city than
the other two, but also met
with less opposition outside of San
Francisco. Full semi.official returns in
this city give a majority in favor of
Amendment No. l of l0,lS7; to No. 2,
lO,74O; and to No. 3, IL 42l. Partial
returns from Alameda county give ma.
jority of 800 in favor of No. l, 6l7 for
No. 2, and 227S for No. 8. Partial re-
turns, almost complete, from four other
counties, viz: Amador, Humboldt, San
Benito and Santa Cruz, give an aggre.
gate majority of 1882 against Amend.
ment l, 2S43 against No. 2, and 2l54
ag ainst No. 3. From all other counties
the returns are very meagre.

exercises, which were very impressive,
Elder w. W. Blair, Of Iowa, spoke of
what he referred to as the great apostasy
which lives in the West. He asserted
that the Utah church would be de.
stroyed, and said that he now saw signs
of its breaking up. The four apostles

More Arrests of Panha ndle Car
Robbers.

PITTSBURGH, April l3.-Accomplices
OF the railroad thieves are resortiug to
threats to intimidate the Panhandle rail.
road officials. Two more arrests were
made shortly after midnight. They are
John Barth and Smith, brakemen, sup.
posed to be implicated in the robberies.
They were surprised at their homes.
Barth was discharged from the Panhan.
die short time ago, and has since been
working on the Baltimore and Ohio.
John Nimons, Chief of the Brother.
hood of Bra xemen on the Panhandle
road, states tnat be has been employed
on the road during the past four
months, and that during that time he
has never seen anything crooked among
the employees. "The Brotherhood" he
said, twill employ counsel to defend the
prisoners, and if possible establish their
innocence. If proofs were shown of
their guilt, however, the Brotherhood
would assist in their conviction. 1t was
also agreed to proceed against the com.
pany for damages if the charges against
the many men under arrest are not sus.
tained." The United States authorities
have decided to proceed against the
plunderers for breaking into bonded
government cars. The Pennsylvania
Company announced to-day that FIVE
days would be given people having in
their possession goods stolen from the
trains in which to return the same. No
questions will be asked and no further |
investigation will follow if the goods are
returned,
Evidence is continually accumulating
that populations on the Panhandle rail-
road must be much larger than reported |
by the officials and others who are per-
haps interested in placing the losses at |
the lowest figure. 1t has been stated by |
parties in the detective bureau of this
city. that the stolen goods, stored in the |
rear of Gilkinson's private Office, contain
$lO0, 900 worth of valuables. Further
evidence of the magnitude of the
theft is contained in the statements
of John Hampton, who has been
attending to the legal end of
the case. He says that if the officials of
the Panhandle road had desired the ar.
rest of all the employees of the road who
were directly or indirectly concerned
with the robberies, it would have been
necessary to stop the operation of the
road. Assistant District Attorney Fagan
stated that there were at least LOG in.
formations, containing an average of
three persons each.

ranging up to e per cent. in Louisville and

regained; after which the market became
comparatively quiet and steady. In the af-
ternoon the entire list decl ined under per.

OF one slight rally weakness continued
until P. M, when the lowest figures for the
day in general were made. There was a
slight rally in the last hour and the close
